Divinity and Archetype

Those familiar with the state of deep meditation will come to recognize that our lives are dominated by mental artifacts. The vagaries of experience present us with a plethora of examples with which to people and to decorate the schematic of archetype which is the unconscious mind. The value of these elements is in their proximity to an unconscious ideal made inevitable by patterns of electrons within the tissue of the brain.

The ancients were closer in their pantheon of gods to the true relation of Awareness to the terra incognito of genetic imperatives than the modern with his monad. The concept of a demiurgic monad puts the individual in a false state of responsibility by assuming unity of personhood......we are many, and that "many" is woven into a chord of seeming unity by consciousness. Hence domination by the principle of consciousness of the mind in modern humanity. The "I" with which consciousness flatters its self is a convenient illusion, and a cover for the more inconvenient truths of archaic archetype.

The Awareness which emerges from deep meditation is not at war with consciousness, but rather has a relationship to consciousness as that of parent to child. There is much consciousness is not aware of and its fascination with its representations is not to be trifled with.

Well did the ancients ascribe divinity to the powers of archetype. And when Awareness consciously engages archetype we people our lives with divinity.
